Chemical Structure

1-(3,4-Dichlorophenyl)pentan-1-one CAS 68120-72-9 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

1-(3,4-Dichlorophenyl)pentan-1-one (CAS 68120-72-9), molecular formula C11H12Cl2O and molecular weight 231.12 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

1-(3,4-Dichlorophenyl)pentan-1-one (C11H12Cl2O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
